Description
Herb & Olive Oil Pull-Apart Bread is a soft and fluffy bread made with Mediterranean herbs like rosemary, thyme, and parsley, combined with garlic and olive oil for a savory, aromatic flavor. The dough itself is easy to make and incorporates a little bit of sugar and olive oil, resulting in a soft texture and rich flavor. The dough is then divided into small balls, coated in a fragrant herb oil, and arranged in a bundt pan or loaf tin. The best part is that the bread is easy to pull apart, making it a fun, shareable dish for any occasion.
